My great aunt lived to almost 116, I have no idea what she ate. Wish I knew.

Sorry about your abnormal digestive tract. Oatmeal has always provided only benefits for me, and I suspect for virtually everyone that has eaten it. I toss in a few raisins during cooking, usually sweeten it with honey..
My pleasure. I hope you enjoy them.
That’s not good...I love oatmeal so much that I avoid it because one bowl is good, two are better!
Add some brown sugar and heavy cream, and you’re in business! That’s how I do it, at least. And I weigh in at the lower percentiles for my height.
It’s all a matter of how much you eat. Make yourself a fantastic little bowl of oatmeal and layer it up. I know, it’s hard to cook a small amount of oatmeal, but on the other hand, it doesn’t cost much if you have to throw some out. Put the expensive ingredients on after you’ve served what you want, not while it’s in the pot.
Also, if you’re traveling through an airport and need breakfast - Starbucks actually has an excellent oatmeal. Everything in the world (nuts, brown sugar, dried fruit, etc.) but no butter, so if you want butter, ask them for it and they’ll give it to you.
Great. Live long enough to see the demise of the Republic.
We’ve already lived that long.
No thanks-—I detest oatmeal.

It’s not eating more whole grains that helps. It’s that people eating more whole grains are eating less of something else. Refined grains.
This story has been told over and over for years, remember Bran Muffins? These stories will continue until you give up meat entirely.
Because the nutritional guidelines are not based on science.
My brother was told by his doctor his cholesterol was high. So he announced to his wife he would eat oatmeal every morning from then on 9 months later he had a heart attack. He ate his oatmeal all right, but the rest of the day, he ate a lot of junk. He didn’t understand that eating oatmeal every morning was not going to save him from heart disease if he wasn’t going to change his other bad eating habits.
Which cholesterol was high?
Mr GG2 holistic’s his up with some sesame seed, organic cinnamon, flax seeds and turmeric. I can hear him grinding it all up every morning. Yuuuuck!!!! Where’s my coffee?
I’ve gotten the steel cut oats. To me, it was still just oatmeal, I didn’t appreciate a real difference in taste.
But if one wants to have oatmeal on hand, dollar store had some, same container size as Quaker Oats and it was good enough.
I have seen people I know live to be in their late 90s and one woman went to 105 yrs of age.
They all shared two things in common.
1.They never jogged a block in their lives.
2. They ate everything, most of it considered taboo today. -Tom
Can I sprinkle my oatmeal with bacon?
I like oatmeal, but two times a week would be about as much as I could stand.
Sounds as though the “study” made little pretense of being scientific.
